Whatever happened to Brentford Nylons?

@mikeseat.bsky.social remember him?

West Coast Main Line: Train derails in Cumbria with 'days' of disruption expected The train was carrying around 85 passengers when it derailed at 06:10 - Avanti West Coast advises customers not to travel north of Preston today.

"Just push a button and pull a lever"!!!

Absolutely. And another member of the train crew is now being credited with hero status and is seriously injured. Top people and not fodder for the rubbish press.

Slightly off piste - the railways introduced long service badges during WWI due to staff being given White Feathers (primarily by suffragettes?) as they were in a "reserved occupation" and the suspicion was that they chose this due to "cowardice". The fact is hey made a huge contribution to the war!

The Great Central was the last main line built in the UK - built to Continental Loading Gauge for connection with Europe, so naturally we tossed it in the bin 🙄😡

One for @natsabin.bsky.social

Perfect! Very jealous!

No political party should tolerate racism - which is why I've signed this petition to suspend Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin MP for her racist comments - add your name now: I just signed the campaign calling to immediately suspend MP Sarah Pochin for her racist comments.

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

Go for it mate! We need truly green policies combined with a bit (lot) of social care for each other and fairness. Wonderful to see that the populist cack of Reform/Labour/Conservatives is being rejected.

I love my life; I love my Wife (and "kids") When things seem a bit rubbish, I need to remember that I am the luckiest man alive.

British.

Girls just want to have fun! Brilliant stuff, always enjoy the moment 👍

Disunited kingdom • Michael Jacobs Keir Starmer’s Labour government is struggling to position itself in a fragmented political landscape

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

It's a different twist on being better to have loved and lost.....

Nigel Farage *literally* has links to Putin.

Journalism is dead.

It is, but behaves like it's part. We had some Customs Police come through the train at our first Swiss station, but they didn't inspect documents etc. You can also spend Euros at most shops etc.

Oh poo! It hasn't gone away has it?

Oh! I forgot that BS😱

Travelled by train today from Lausanne to London via Paris. Best way to see wonderful countries and perhaps mourn the stupidity of our leaving the EU. Frictionless travel, single currency and free roaming have now been flushed down the toilet. Grrrrrr!

Cloud cuckoo land? 🤣

Miss the yellow bits....

You retiring? (shy and?.....).

33 years ago, I took my oldest son to watch Coventry City in the old First Division. I rekindled my love of the game and he found his. His youger brother followed shortly after. Mostly it's been a tough watch, but things change. Well done Doug, Frank and the boys. We are so proud of you all

Frescorossa (nice!) and OuiGo (bit tired) involved so far, with a stop overnight in Chambery. Gorgeous mountain and lake views.

Wondering if @eurostarjustin.bsky.social is about today. Me and @wildlifewend.bsky.social are just waiting for train 9014 to Paris from St Pancras. One day we have to meet up! 🤣🤣🤣

I don't complain! (Much).
